“家门口的民族音乐学”:城市化进程中的中国城市音乐文化学

Ethnic Musicology "at home in the city":Urban Music Culture in the Process of Chinese Urbanization

音乐艺术大致上可以划分为传统的古典音乐、民族民间音乐和通俗的流行音乐几大类。古典音乐作为传统的音乐学研究范畴,向来受到音乐学界的重视。音乐人类学长期专注于农村或异域的民族民间音乐,而忽视城市。随着学科自身的发展,音乐人类学不应仅仅停留在探究包括西方社会在内的各类民族民间音乐活动和思考西方古典音乐中的文化本质层面上,同时,音乐人类学的"田野工作"范围也不应再是狭义的偏僻边缘的乡村部落,而应当扩展到更广泛的整个人类音乐活动场景,这无疑包括了我们身边的城市音乐文化的内容,由此而派生的城市音乐文化学被称作"家门口的民族音乐学"。

Music is generally classified as classical music, ethnic and folk music and pop music. As part and parcel of traditional musicology research, classical music has always been enjoying attention in music theoretical research. Country music at home and ethnic folk music abroad rather than music in cities has all along been focus of ethnomusicology. Ethnomusicology shall develop beyond ethnic and folk music as well as classical music to embrace probing into city music culture, which gives rise to study on urban music culture dubbed as ethnic musicology at doorstep.
